For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
(1 Peter 2:25 WEB)
I never stopped going to Church (I’m a proud Episcopalian who takes my kids to Church every week), but i have not been living my life the way I should. I have allowed a couple addictions to take a foothold in my life, such as smoking. I have justified it, but could not make it feel right as long as I kept up with daily prayer and Bible reading. So I abandoned these essential Christian practices.
The night before last, I was watching a Christian movie on Netflix when it hit me like a ton of bricks just how far from God I was. So I finished that last smoke (I smoked a lot while watching tv), went to my bedroom and found my prayer book. I recommitted my life to Jesus Christ. I’m giving up my addictions, I’m recommiting to daily Bible reading and prayer. And I’m hoping to once again post regularily to this blog.
